Reaching the uninhabited island where de León's last voyage ran aground, Angelica and Blackbeard coerce Jack into retrieving both Fountain chalices. Philip Swift, a captive missionary, falls in love with the mermaid and names her Syrena. In the ensuing battle Blackbeard captures one. A small boat of mutineers are set adrift as bait led by Tamara, the mermaids obligingly seduce and massacre them. Meanwhile, Gibbs narrowly escapes execution by memorizing and destroying Jack's personal map, forcing Barbossa to spare him so he could navigate to the Fountain.īlackbeard seeks the Fountain's power to circumvent his predestined fatal encounter with "a one-legged man," (Barbossa) and charts a course for Whitecap Bay - where he hopes to harvest tears from a mermaid. Any individual drinking from the chalice containing a mermaid's tear has their life extended, while the other dies, their life drained from their body and remaining years 'donated' to the other. The Fountain's water must be consumed simultaneously from the two special chalices.
Jack is taken aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, and forced to lead the way to the Fountain and find two silver chalices that once belonged to Juan Ponce de León, both believed to be aboard his missing flagship. The impostor is Angelica, Jack's former lover and the daughter of the ruthless pirate Blackbeard, who practices voodoo magic and wields a magical sword that controls his ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. He also discloses that someone is impersonating Jack. Jack escapes, but his father, Captain Teague, finds him and warns Jack about the Fountain's rituals. Heading the expedition is Jack's old nemesis, Captain Hector Barbossa, now a privateer in service to the Royal Navy after losing his leg and ship, the Black Pearl. After a failed attempt to rescue his first mate, Joshamee Gibbs, in London, Captain Jack Sparrow is brought before King George II, who wants Jack to guide an expedition to the Fountain of Youth before his Spanish rivals can locate it.
